And some are so outrageous, we'd hesitate to include them in a book because readers would find them unbelievable.<br />Marilyn Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424778692932139865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-6261814819997662962013-06-30T08:48:11.469-05:002013-06-30T08:48:11.469-05:00I love stories like this--and some end up in my Ro...I love stories like this--and some end up in my Rocky Bluff P.D. mysteries.Marilyn Meredith a.k.a.

I read it avidly along with everybody else I suspect. I don't know if it's the writer or the people but it's so funny I've started saving them.

My favorite section contains reporting of offbeat crimes from all over the country, most too weird to even put in a book, but definitely laugh worthy.

I once reported on the largest drug bust in U.S. history at the California-Mexican border, which should have made the front page, but the editor decided instead to run an article I had written about a barking rooster, which served as a San Diego family's watch dog.Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.com
